The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), one of the world's richest wealth funds is planning to close its London offices.
Worth an estimated $773 billion, ADIA has issued a statement saying the decision won't impact its investments or commitments to the UK.
The fund, which has a stake in the UK'sGatwick airport and Thames Water, opened its London office, its only international hub, in the mid-1980s.
Whilst it's not often that we at Counting the Cost delve into the world of sovereign wealth funds, ADIA's announcement comes at a time of perceived tensions between both countries.
There have been repeated claims as of late that the UAE has been trying to use its financial clout to influence British foreign policy.
Central to the claims are reports that UAE officials promised the UK a $9 billion arms contract only if Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a clampdown on the Muslim Brotherhood.
And just last month, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the UK said that trade links could be threatened after opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn criticised the Kingdom and its human rights record.
Sara Bazoobandi, a lecturer in International Political Economy at Regent's University London, joins Counting the Cost to discuss ADIA's planned closure and what it means for both countries.
Christine Lagarde: A stiff message to Gulf countriesCountries in the Gulf region are struggling to keep their balances in check as oil and gas prices have dropped sharply over the past year, leading to significant revenue shortfalls.
In a recent report, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that if countries like Saudi Arabia didn't adapt to the price drop and seek alternatives they could run out of buffers in just five years.
Christine Lagarde recently spoke to Al Jazeera'sMartine Dennis and said the Gulf should start looking at other ways than oil and gas to bring in money.

Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the 1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil was not discovered until 1966. Oil revenue first started to flow in 1969. Dubai's oil revenue helped accelerate the early development of the city, but its reserves are limited and production levels are low: today, less than 5% of the emirate's revenue comes from oil. The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become iconic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticised for human rights violations concerning the city's largely South Asian workforce. Dubai's property market experienced a major deterioration in 2008–09 following the financial crisis of 2007–08, but the emirate's economy has made a return to growth, with a projected 2015 budget surplus.

Wine in the Middle East

Pre-Islamic and Early Islamic Period

Though written sources regarding alcoholic drinks before the early 7th century are scarce, literature concerning the early Muslims reveals a great deal of information about alcohol at the time of Muhammad. The Hadith collected by al-Bukhari, records a number of fermented drinks available in the Arabian Peninsula at that time. According to ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, “wine is prepared from five things: raisins, dates, wheat, barley, or honey,” while Anas ibn Malik mentions wines made from at least four different kinds of dates. In addition to declaring wine to be haram, Muhammad himself considered other cooked or fermented drinks such as tilā’ and naqir as inebriating and thus forbade the pressing of grapes and the drinking of pressed grape juice.
As the early Muslim armies conquered more territory, though, increasing populations of non-Muslims were brought under Muslim rule, necessitating the development of a body of law regulating the interaction between Muslims and non-Muslim dhimmis. A document used for guiding Muslim pacts with dhimmi communities known as the Shuruṭ ‘Umar forbids dhimmis from selling forbidden products – pork, wine, carrion – to Muslims.

Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia (i/ˌsɔːdiːəˈreɪbiə/, i/ˌsaʊ-/), officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is an Arab state in Western Asia constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula. With a land area of approximately 2,150,000km2 (830,000sqmi), Saudi Arabia is geographically the second-largest state in the Arab world after Algeria. Saudi Arabia is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast, and Yemen to the south. It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast, and most of its terrain consists of arid inhospitable desert or barren landforms.

The area of modern-day Saudi Arabia formerly consisted of four distinct regions: Hejaz, Najd, and parts of Eastern Arabia (Al-Ahsa) and Southern Arabia ('Asir). The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932 by Ibn Saud. He united the four regions into a single state through a series of conquests beginning in 1902 with the capture of Riyadh, the ancestral home of his family, the House of Saud. The country has since been an absolute monarchy, effectively a hereditary dictatorship governed along Islamic lines. The ultra-conservative Wahhabism religious movement within Sunni Islam has been called "the predominant feature of Saudi culture", with its global spreading largely financed by the oil and gas trade. Saudi Arabia is sometimes called "the Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Al-Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca), and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (in Medina), the two holiest places in Islam. The Kingdom has a total population of 28.7 million, of which 20 million are Saudi nationals and 8 million are foreigners.

UAE Legal System explained | Lex Animata | Hesham Elrafei

UAE Legal System explained | Lex Animata | Hesham Elrafei

UAE Legal System explained | Lex Animata | Hesham Elrafei

Legal system of the United Arab Emirates
By Hesham Elrafei
https://www.linkedin.com/in/heshamelrafei
The legal and courts system in the U
nited Arab of Emirates visualized and explained in plain English in a nutshell.
The United Arab Emirates , is a federal State founded In 1971 , and It consists of 7 sovereign provinces, governing their own territories.
The Constitution established the legal system , based on 5 pillars as follows :
the Supreme Council of Rulers ,
The President and his deputy ,
the Council of Ministers ,
the National Council
and The Judiciary.
The Cabinet , propose and draft the bills
before submitting the bill to the federal National Council ,
which reviews the bill , and can only propose amendments ,
but cannot initiate a new legislation, seeings its role as a consultative ( advisory ) body;
The FNC’s official mandate is to provide for public debate of legislation.
once reviewed by the FNC, The proposed legislation, is presented to the President for signature , after being ratified by the Supreme Council , who is the highest Authority within the Federation , and comprises the Rulers of the seven Emirates.
On the other hand, the courts system is based upon civil law principles, and Islamic jurisprudence, while some free zones have their own English speaking courts, modeled on the common law judicial system, like Abu Dhabi Global Market , and Dubai International Financial Centre.
Some emirates have their own local independent courts
Like Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah , While the others are part of the Federal Court system ( Sharjah, Fujairah, Umm al-Quwain, and Ajman),
The court system is divided into three layers : a trial first instance court , An intermediate appellate court ( the court Appeal ) ,
and a last resort court ( the Court of Cassation )
The Court of FirstInstance , has general jurisdiction to hear all disputes , And it's divided into three main sections: and review evidence to determine the facts of the case; Civil, Criminal, and personal status.
The civil cases section, looks into civil, commercial, administrative, and labour disputes; While the personal status court , has jurisdiction over family cases. like inheritance , divorce , Alimony and child custody.
Lastly the criminal sections, looks into offences like contraventions (violations), misdemeanors, and felonies cases, referred to the court by the public prosecution , who initiates the criminal process , By filing the case, investigating it , and imposing charges on the accused person.
Appeal against a Court of First Instance decision, is made to the intermediate appellate court , on factual or legal grounds.
If still not happy with the Court of Appeal decision, the parties may appeal , on points of law alone , to the Court of Cassation , whose decisions are final and are not subject to appeal .
While there is no system of precedent, Lower courts must observe the principles set down by the Court of Cassation.
On the other hand, some cases must be heard by the Federal Supreme Court , like state security offences , the interpretation of the Constitution and the constitutionality of Laws, the hearing of offences committed by senior officials , and disputes between the 7 emirates.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), one of the world's richest wealth funds is planning to close its London offices.
Worth an estimated $773 billion, ADIA has issued a statement saying the decision won't impact its investments or commitments to the UK.
The fund, which has a stake in the UK'sGatwick airport and Thames Water, opened its London office, its only international hub, in the mid-1980s.
Whilst it's not often that we at Counting the Cost delve into the world of sovereign wealth funds, ADIA's announcement comes at a time of perceived tensions between both countries.
There have been repeated claims as of late that the UAE has been trying to use its financial clout to influence British foreign policy.
Central to the claims are reports that UAE officials promised the UK a $9 billion arms contract only if Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a clampdown on the Muslim Brotherhood.
And just last month, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the UK said that trade links could be threatened after opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn criticised the Kingdom and its human rights record.

Legal system of the United Arab Emirates
By Hesham Elrafei
https://www.linkedin.com/in/heshamelrafei
The legal and courts system in the U
nited Arab of Emirates visualized and explained in plain English in a nutshell.
The United Arab Emirates , is a federal State founded In 1971 , and It consists of 7 sovereign provinces, governing their own territories.
The Constitution established the legal system , based on 5 pillars as follows :
the Supreme Council of Rulers ,
The President and his deputy ,
the Council of Ministers ,
the National Council
and The Judiciary.
The Cabinet , propose and draft the bills
before submitting the bill to the federal National Council ,
which reviews the bill , and can only propose amendments ,
but cannot initiate a new legislation, seeings its role as a consultative ( advisory ) body;
The FNC’s official mandate is to provide for public debate of legislation.
once reviewed by the FNC, The proposed legislation, is presented to the President for signature , after being ratified by the Supreme Council , who is the highest Authority within the Federation , and comprises the Rulers of the seven Emirates.
On the other hand, the courts system is based upon civil law principles, and Islamic jurisprudence, while some free zones have their own English speaking courts, modeled on the common law judicial system, like Abu Dhabi Global Market , and Dubai International Financial Centre.
Some emirates have their own local independent courts
Like Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah , While the others are part of the Federal Court system ( Sharjah, Fujairah, Umm al-Quwain, and Ajman),
The court system is divided into three layers : a trial first instance court , An intermediate appellate court ( the court Appeal ) ,
and a last resort court ( the Court of Cassation )
The Court of FirstInstance , has general jurisdiction to hear all disputes , And it's divided into three main sections: and review evidence to determine the facts of the case; Civil, Criminal, and personal status.
The civil cases section, looks into civil, commercial, administrative, and labour disputes; While the personal status court , has jurisdiction over family cases. like inheritance , divorce , Alimony and child custody.
Lastly the criminal sections, looks into offences like contraventions (violations), misdemeanors, and felonies cases, referred to the court by the public prosecution , who initiates the criminal process , By filing the case, investigating it , and imposing charges on the accused person.
Appeal against a Court of First Instance decision, is made to the intermediate appellate court , on factual or legal grounds.
If still not happy with the Court of Appeal decision, the parties may appeal , on points of law alone , to the Court of Cassation , whose decisions are final and are not subject to appeal .
While there is no system of precedent, Lower courts must observe the principles set down by the Court of Cassation.
On the other hand, some cases must be heard by the Federal Supreme Court , like state security offences , the interpretation of the Constitution and the constitutionality of Laws, the hearing of offences committed by senior officials , and disputes between the 7 emirates.

Dubai has emerged as a global city and business hub of the Middle East. It is also a major transport hub for passengers and cargo. By the 1960s Dubai's economy was based on revenues from trade and, to a smaller extent, oil exploration concessions, but oil was not discovered until 1966. Oil revenue first started to flow in 1969. Dubai's oil revenue helped accelerate the early development of the city, but its reserves are limited and production levels are low: today, less than 5% of the emirate's revenue comes from oil. The emirate's Western-style model of business drives its economy with the main revenues now coming from tourism, aviation, real estate, and financial services. Dubai has recently attracted world attention through many innovative large construction projects and sports events. The city has become iconic for its skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Dubai has been criticised for human rights violations concerning the city's largely South Asian workforce. Dubai's property market experienced a major deterioration in 2008–09 following the financial crisis of 2007–08, but the emirate's economy has made a return to growth, with a projected 2015 budget surplus.
